Chapter 750: Acknowledgement

At the Wang family, Zhulan took Yulu to the old lady's courtyard. The old lady's personal maid said as they walked, "The old lady has been talking about it. She has been waiting for today since she received the invitation!"

Zhulan thought to herself, it was a good thing that the note was sent over early. "While they were talking, they reached the door of the house and the maid opened the bamboo curtain.

Zhulan brought her granddaughter into the house, and the old lady had already spoken, "The magpies have been chirping today, and they really promised that the distinguished guests would come."

Zhulan greeted the guests first, then smiled and said, "I can't afford to have such a distinguished guest. I guess there must be some happy event in your house."

The old lady smiled and said, "You can afford it, you can afford it, come and sit down, this is Yu Lu girl."

Yu Lu greeted again, "I've met the old lady."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Look at this. I like it. Come here, kid. Let me take a closer look."

Zhulan has already sat down. She is not worried about Yulu, because Yulu is the most stable child among her granddaughters.

Yu Lu walked forward with a smile. The old lady stretched out her hand and held Yu Lu's hand directly. If it was not inappropriate, the old lady's hand would have touched her face.

Liu was satisfied with the child's appearance. She thought the child was blessed, with clear and steady eyes and a stable temperament, as the eldest daughter-in-law should be. Moreover, she was generous and graceful, which made Liu like her even more.

Today, Zhulan is just a foil, the main character is Yulu. Zhulan feels proud as she sees Yulu answering calmly, as she has put a lot of thought into her granddaughters.

Yu Lu also understands Buddhism. She has a calm temperament and can read the Buddhist scriptures.

The Buddhist scriptures of the first wife came from Li, and were attributed to Zhulan. Zhulan and Tao would bring Li with them when they went to worship Buddha. Although Li's handwriting was not good, he would let his concubine read a few articles.

Liu was even more satisfied. A girl of this age prefers new and interesting things and rarely has the time to calm down and read Buddhist scriptures.

Liu sighed, "If you can understand the principles in the Buddhist scriptures, it will be helpful for your future."

When she was young, she didn’t understand it deeply. But as she got older, she understood more and liked Yu Lu even more, because she could really understand it.

Zhulan would sometimes look at it and say with a smile, "You are right."

This was the first time that Yu Lu visited the Wang family after her engagement. The old lady prepared a gift, a set of jewelry and head ornaments with bright red gems, which dazzled Zhu Lan's eyes.

Liu said with a nostalgic look in her eyes: "This is my dowry when I got married. It has been well maintained over the years. I am giving it to you today. You must take good care of it."

Yu Lu finally got nervous, "This is too expensive."

She looked carefully and saw that the gem was bigger than the one her grandmother gave her. It was really a treasure.

Liu actually prepared two gifts. This one was a gift for recognition, and the other was a pair of bracelets. The bracelets were not as precious as the ones in the wedding. "They will be yours sooner or later."

This marriage is inevitable. Although the old man never mentions state affairs to her, she has been able to understand his heart for so many years. The old man is very optimistic about Zhou Shuren.

Zhulan didn't say anything, and Yulu took over.

Yu Lu's cheeks turned red, but she still thanked him generously, "Thank you, old lady."

Liu's eyes were a little blurry, but Ke Xin's eyes were particularly bright. Zhou Yulu didn't question Yang with her eyes, but accepted it generously. This girl was not only calm, but also decisive. Her smile deepened, "Okay, okay."

Zhulan also laughed. Who doesn't want their granddaughter to live a good life in her future husband's family?

When she got home, Zhulan felt a little tired. She had been entertaining guests for two hours and had been sitting the entire time. She had to sit in a standard posture, with her waist and back tied. After changing her clothes, Zhulan lay down.

Mrs. Song stretched out her hand to massage her, and after a while, Zhulan finally felt comfortable. "I haven't attended a banquet for a long time, and I can't sit still."

Mrs. Song was silent. The mistress was very casual at home. When she got tired of sitting, she leaned back. When she was really tired, she lay down. Once she relaxed herself, she could not sit still.

Zhulan yawned and felt a little sleepy. She motioned to Mrs. Song to go out. Zhulan fell asleep in a daze.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was also busy. He didn't need to take care of the tax increase, but he needed to keep an eye on the library. Zhou Shuren was leading people to classify the books.

"Master Zhou, the Minister asks you to come over."

Zhou Shuren said to the ambassador of the Ministry of Punishment, "I'll leave this to you."

The ambassador was excited, "Yes."

He could feel that Lord Zhou had a good impression of him. Now that Lord Zhou was stable in the Ministry of Revenue, he had caught the Lord's eye and might be promoted in the future.

Zhou Shuren entered the room and saw the Second Prince at a glance. He greeted him and said, "Hello, Second Prince."

The second prince smiled but wanted to curse in his heart. He really didn't want to deal with Zhou Shuren, this vixen, anymore, especially after knowing why the tax was increased and the library was established. "I heard from Lord Xiao that the library was handed over to Lord Zhou."

Zhou Shuren was not surprised that the Second Prince came to visit. Even if this library was just a temporary job, it would still be able to gain some favor among the readers. "Yes."

The second prince looked at Xiao Qing, then at Zhou Shuren, and felt a headache. He had been keeping an eye on Zhou Shuren. When Zhou Shuren entered the palace, he knew that his father had directly told them the news about the tax increase and the library, and even stated the underlying intention.

Several of their princes also have maritime merchants under them. The jewelry from the Ministry of Revenue is easy to deal with, and there is at least half a year of tax exemption. Although they will have to pay some money, it is still affordable.

But they knew they would have to spend a lot of money to own the library, but they still wanted to fight for it. Not only did they want to gain the benefits of being listed on the library, but they also didn't want other brothers to get it.

The Second Prince regretted coming to the Ministry of Revenue. It was already difficult to deal with Xiao Qing alone, and now there was Zhou Shuren. After thinking it over, he decided not to rush. "This prince has something else to do. Bye."

Zhou Shuren watched the Second Prince walk away without saying anything, then looked at Lord Xiao, "Sir, did the Second Prince say anything?"

Xiao Qing's tone was full of regret. He actually hoped that the Second Prince would say something, but unfortunately, he had to see Zhou Shuren as soon as he arrived. "He didn't say anything."

Zhou Shuren still had a lot of things to do, "Sir, I will go and get busy first."

"Go ahead."

Xiao Qing waited for Zhou Shuren to leave, with a smile on his face. He only had to wait for the money to come.

The second prince had just been riding in a carriage for a while when it stopped. Soon after, the third prince got on the carriage.

Zhang Jingyang slapped his palm with his fan, "Third brother, you are staring at your brother so blatantly!"
